    RMP blade light

    I was going to install my new RMP light according to the video. When I looked at the tubing for the poles it looks like there is no way there is anything else going in there. My question is has anyone ran the wires elsewhere? It looks like I could go straight out of the mount and tie the wires to the jack plate wires.

    if you tie into your wires for your jackplate how would you turn it on and off? Whole reason behind tying into your existing pole light wiring is to use the existing nav light switch to turn it on and off. If you have 1.0 poles you can run the wiring thru the black mesh sheathing covering the tubing.

    the wires will not fit in sheathing it looks very tight. I am trying to run the wires into the hull to hook to the light. Triton came out of the side of the bracket so I can run the wires out of the back and the same way the jack plate wires run. I was hoping someone had a pic

    Mine went in the mesh easily, might have to push the mesh together a little to expand it before fishing it thru it.

    I've had mine on since January. No issues here with chaffing or any of that.
